use of military without approval 'high crime, misdemeanor'

QUOTING Drew Zahn…. "introduced a resolution declaring that 


should the president use offensive military force without authorization 
of an act of Congress, “it is the sense of Congress” that such an act 

would be “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.” 

...Specifically, Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution reserves for Congress alone 
the power to declare war, a restriction that has been sorely tested in recent years, 

including Obama’s authorization of military force in Libya.
In an exclusive WND column, former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo claims that Jones 
introduced his House Concurrent Resolution 107 in response to startling recent 

comments from Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.“This week it was Secretary 
of Defense Panetta’s declaration before the Senate Armed Services Committee 

that he and President Obama look not to the Congress for authorization to bomb 
Syria but to NATO and the United Nations,” "

The five core reasons why Obama should be impeached

Paul Joseph Watson

The five core reasons for impeachment proceedings to be launched can be summarized as follows;

1) Despite promising otherwise, Barack Obama committed U.S. military resources to overthrow Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi without any kind of congressional authorization whatsoever and without citing any evidence that Libya under Gaddafi was a threat to the security of the United States. Furthermore, Obama brazenly undermined the power of Congress by insisting his authority came from the United Nations Security Council and that Congressional approval was not necessary. “I don’t even have to get to the Constitutional question,” Obama churlishly remarked.

2) On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act which includes provisions that permit the abduction and military detention without trial of U.S. citizens. Despite Obama claiming he would not use the provisions to incarcerate U.S. citizens, it was his administration that specifically demanded these powers be included in the final NDAA bill.

3) The passage of the Obamacare bill, under which Americans will be forced to buy health insurance, is clearly anathema to the Constitution. “The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme,” writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

4) Obama’s role in the economic looting of America since he took office is unprecedented. Specifically, Obama violated the Constitution’s Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

5) Finally, Obama’s use of signing statements shows his desire to continue in the vein of George W. Bush and rule by executive fiat. This is a direct violation of Article II of the Constitution.
